Guest ilove2workout28 Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 I cant even set up my pull up bar; and therefore I cant use my rings. What can I do for pulling strength, bicep work, and lower back work then? Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cole Dano Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 If there is a bathroom door you could still use the rings for rows. Just shorten the straps and put them over the top of the door and put a hand towel in the end of the loop. When you pull the rings the towels will jam on the back side of the door.For lower back work you could use the bed for reverse hypers, or do some elbow lever work.

Nick Van Bockxmeer Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 your best bet would probably be heading down to the local park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Naterman Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 or bus stop, or use pipes in the parking deck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alvaro Antolinez Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 I also have to train in hotels some times a week. Usually I reserve the pushing days for the hotel. Here in europe is almost impossible to find a simple pullup bar in any hotel gym. Wall runs, hespu, planche work (also good for the biceps) , L seat from a chair or ground if able to, for lower back work I use lower the legs from straddle head stand ( is preatty thought at least for me and my neck). Also if you got grip enought you can use the top of the door frame (not my case) as a friend of mine who is climber usually does!.Dont forget your stretching!

heinrich Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 What can I do for pulling strength, bicep work, and lower back work then? If you are travelling by car and not by airplane, you should try Kettlebells!That won't solve your pull-up-problem but swings and/or snatches will definitely work your entire back. And you will need very little space for these exercises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Naterman Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 You should either buy a doorway pull up bar or make one. If you make one with threaded metal from the hardware store, you can just take it apart to travel, and put it back together when you need it! It'd be small, easily packable, and portable!
